Alias L-FMAU, Levovir

Clevudine (Levovir) is a synthetic pyrimidine analogue with activity against hepatitis B virus (HBV). Intracellularly, clevudine is phosphorylated to its active metabolites, clevudine monophosphate and triphosphate. The triphosphate metabolite competes with thymidine for incorporation into viral DNA, thereby causing DNA chain termination and inhibiting the function of HBV DNA polymerase (reverse transcriptase). Clevudine has a long half-life and shows significant reduction of covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA), therefore the patient is less likely to have a relapse after treatment is discontinued.

Product Introduction

Bioactivity

Description	Clevudine (Levovir) is a synthetic pyrimidine analogue with activity against hepatitis B virus (HBV). Intracellularly, clevudine is phosphorylated to its active metabolites, clevudine monophosphate and triphosphate. The triphosphate metabolite competes with thymidine for incorporation into viral DNA, thereby causing DNA chain termination and inhibiting the function of HBV DNA polymerase (reverse transcriptase). Clevudine has a long half-life and shows significant reduction of covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA), therefore the patient is less likely to have a relapse after treatment is discontinued.
In vitro	Clevudine is a potent antiviral agent against HBV (EC50 0.1 μM in HepG2 2.2.15 cells) as well as EBV, which has low cytotoxicities in a variety of cell lines including MT2, CEM, H1 and HepG2 2.2.15 and bone marrow progenitor cells. Clevudine is metabolized in cells by the cellular thymidine kinase as well as deoxycytidine kinase to its monophosphate, and subsequently to the di- and triphosphate. Clevudine is known to act specifically on viral DNA synthesis, and its triphosphate inhibits the HBV DNA synthesis in a dose-dependent manner without being incorporated into the DNA or chain termination. [1] Clevudine results in increase of the amounts of the diphosphate and triphosphate metabolites of these analogs. Clevudine monophosphate (L-FMAUMP) is a poorer substrate than its D-configuration anomer. [2] Clevudine is readily phosphorylated to the corresponding 5'-triphosphate form of the compound in cell culture, which involves the mechanism of action of Clevudine. [3]

In Vivo Formulation Calculator (Clear solution)

Please enter your animal experiment information in the following box and click Calculate to obtain the stock solution preparation method and in vivo formula preparation method:

For example, if the intended dosage is 10 mg/kg for animals weighing 20 g , with a dosing volume of 100 μL per animal, TargetMol | Animal experiments

and a total of 10 animals are to be administered, using a formulation of TargetMol | reagent

10% DMSO+ 40% PEG300+ 5% Tween 80+ 45% Saline/PBS/ddH₂O , the resulting working solution concentration would be 2 mg/mL.

Stock Solution Preparation:

Dissolve 2 mg of the compound in 100 μL DMSO TargetMol | reagent to obtain a stock solution at a concentration of 20 mg/mL . If the required concentration exceeds the compound's known solubility, please contact us for technical support before proceeding.

Preparation of the In Vivo Formulation:

1) Add 100 μL of the DMSO TargetMol | reagent stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix thoroughly until the solution becomes clear.

2) Add 50 μL Tween 80 and mix well until fully clarified.

3) Add 450 μL Saline,PBS or ddH₂O TargetMol | reagent and mix thoroughly until a homogeneous solution is obtained.
